Syria

So with this uptick in a possible strike on the country how do you feel about another war ... even when no hard proof has been presented?

Interesting take in The New Yorker mag. link

I haven't looked at Beatnic's link yet, but I can say that I think involvement in Syria would be the absolutely stupidest thing our country could possibly do

Another war for our President who holds a Nobel Peace prize....

Interesting read from the new yorker that's for sure. I do find it pathetic that a thousand or more can be slaughtered with anything other than a nuke or chemicals and we don't do ***, but the minute some chemicals are used we have to do something. A reason why we shouldn't be the police of the world or at least when it isn't directly affecting us or our allies and without freaking proof.

What's going on in Syria. I'm too busy watching Miley Cyrus touch herself like Madonna did 30 years ago but everyone seems to be in an uproar anyway.

But really, Egypt is burning churches and practicing religious persecution but we can ignore that since Christianity is antiquated and not "cool"

Not surprised but disappointed. Apperently it is a matter of days.

He has to do something since he said he would a year ago. Our word would mean nothing if we said chemical weapons are a red line then not do anything when it is crossed. I predict they will only shoot a couple of tomahawks at more or less pointless targets. That way we can say we did something without really having a big impact on the outcome.

Thank you. I thought the same thing.

I guess if my country was butchering people, physically torturing to death kids, adults etc. I would cry or help. In this particulr situation I would offer help. Giving aid via weapons much earlier. Giving aid not because of oil, but because it is the right thing to do. I just pray politicians are in it for the good, not money. No doubt our soldiers are always ready when duty calls. USA

Perhaps you misunderstood me. First, I never mentioned president Bush. Second, I was simply trying to correct a clearly false statement blaming our current president for our decades old wars. Nothing more nothing less. Don't let pesky facts cloud your judgment.
